It seems like there is always something darker in prospect when considering the One. From what Steven Calabresi points out here, Oprah Winfrey would be a typical Supreme Court justice on an Obama court.

Speaking in July 2007 at a conference of Planned Parenthood, he said: "[W]e need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges."

Just what we need--like we need a bunch of little Marxist, William Ayers types infesting all the lower federal courts, where a significant amount of constitutional doctrine is worked out--remember only a small number of cases make the docket of the Supremes. Much of what lower federal court judges do is not only permanent, but unreviewed.

Imagine a raft of these whackos serving up social policy as judicial diktat, flooding the zone with so much constitution-subverting drivel that, in league with a Congress newly immune from re-election hazard by way of their own legislative derring-do, we have a permanent Democrat government with no popular control--merely symbolic rituals of voting. Something like the hapless European publics.
